Benzyl [2-isopropyl-4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)phenoxy]acetate → [2-Isopropyl-4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)phenoxy]acetic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of benzyl [2-isopropyl-4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)phenoxy]acetate (0.24 g) and 10% palladium-carbon (0.05 g) in ethanol (10 mL) was stirred at room temperature for 2 hrs under an atmosphere of hydrogen. The catalyst was removed by filtration, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure to afford the title compound (0.156 g).
